No more crond

[Metabaron1]

Hi all
I updated this postfix container a few days ago as there some new interesting updates, but I was very disapointed when I noticed that the cron was not working anymore.

Of course I understand that custom certificate should not be updated, but you should not just completely remove a feature that has been there from the beginning and could be used by other users.
Especially when you just have to delete (or move from /etc/periodic) the cron config to properly disable it so that the certificate is not updated anymore.
So could you please put the cron back in entrypoint.sh and instead remove the certificate cron config, something like:

  if [[ -f ${TLS_KEY_FILE} && -f ${TLS_CERT_FILE}  ]]; then
    rm -f /etc/periodic/hourly/renew-postfix-tls
    crond && python3 generate_config.py --postfix && setup_dnsbl_reply_map && postfix start-fg
  else

Thanks and happy new year

@Metabaron1 , sorry that the removal of crond is breaking your usecase. But it should not have been there at all in case the certificates are provided externally. Can you please provide the usecase why you like this to be restored?

@rehanone because I run periodic checks and security task inside postfix container from crontab. If you dont want certificate renewal , remove the renewal cron file , not the cron daemon.
